A major scandal in the Baltimore city corrections system netted an indictment of 25 people — including 13 prison guards — on charges of drug conspiracy, money laundering and racketeering, all run through a prison gang operation in which inmates virtually controlled the jail in which they were incarcerated.
Federal law enforcement officials say the defendants conspired with or took bribes from members of the Black Guerilla Family to smuggle drugs, cellphones , and other contraband in and out of the Baltimore City Detention Center and several facilities connected to it. Four female corrections officers named in the indictment even allegedly became pregnant (one of them twice) by the gang’s accused ringleader, inmate Tavon White.
The Black Guerilla Family seem to control the prison. The leader when interviewed says even the guards must go through him first before they act. Is it fear or just corruption? Either way something can be done about that. The prison should either separate those particular inmates or get better guards. http://nation.time.com/2013/04/24/sex-with-guards-in-baltimore-prison-scandal/?iid=us-main-lead
